More about hotels in Parangtritis
Parangtritis is a striking black-sand beach on Yogyakarta's south coast, about 27km (45 minutes) from the city centre. It's known for dramatic sand dunes, powerful surf, and some of the best sunsets in the Yogyakarta region — as well as its place in Javanese mythology as the domain of Nyai Roro Kidul, the legendary Queen of the Southern Sea.

A safety note
Parangtritis has strong waves and dangerous rip currents, and swimming here is genuinely not recommended — most visitors enjoy the beach for its scenery, sunsets, and sand dunes rather than swimming.
